This book is the third in a series of story collections about the author's home town, Conisbrough. The stories range from ancient times to the mid-twentieth century, including the experiences of a Conisbrough blacksmith at the battle of Lincoln, a tournament at Pontefract, in which the Sir John Eland, Constable of Conisbrough Castle, wins the prize, and the experiences of a Conisbrough miner during the 'Bag Muck' strike.
